The music of Hendrix wakes people up to their possibilities. It's more than just dreaming about being a guitar hero.

I don't like to be labeled, to be anything. I've made the mistake before myself of labeling my music, but it's counter-productive.

I have so many opinions about everything it just comes out during my music. It's a battle for me. I try not to be preachy. That's a real danger.

My music isn't anything but me. It has jazz in it, and rock'n'roll, and it has an urgency to it.

The '60s was one of the first times the power of music was used by a generation to bind them together.

The thing about my music is, there really is no point.

Commitments are one of the worst things to have in the music business. They're very annoying.

Music is part of us, and either ennobles or degrades our behavior.

Live music is better.

All that stuff about heavy metal and hard rock, I don't subscribe to any of that. It's all just music. I mean, the heavy metal from the '70s sounds nothing like the stuff from the '80s, and that sounds nothing like the stuff from the '90s. Who's to say what is and isn't a certain type of music?
